Evelyn Mary (Beyer) Stangler of Albany, Minnesota, passed away peacefully at home in Albany, Minnesota, on August 27, 2026, at the age of 84. Evelyn was born on October 19, 1941, to Alphonse and Mary (Miranowski) Beyer in Brandrup Township, Minnesota. She married Anthony Stangler on August 3, 1968, and they had two sons.
Evie grew up on a farm and was part of a large family with a strong faith. As a young girl, she enjoyed ball games and fishing with her family and tagging along with one particularly mischievous brother. She worked outside the home for a brief time, but her main focus became helping her husband Tony on the farm (she even mastered plowing!) and selflessly raising her two sons. She was an A+ homemaker who took pride in taking care of the family home. She enjoyed biking, camping, and traveling with Tony during retirement. Evie was a happy and easy-going person, and she kept her cheerful demeanor until the very end. She loved cardinals, and these beautiful birds will forever remind us that she is watching over us now.
Evelyn is survived by children Jim (Sloane) Stangler and Jeff (Monica) Stangler; granddaughter Nevaeh Stangler; brothers David (Janet) Beyer; Gene (Phyllis) Beyer; Dennis (Beth) Beyer; Kenneth (Barb) Beyer; sisters Therese Watkins; Florence (Al) Lucken; Dorothy Mittendorf; Gladys (Allan) Amundsen; Mary (Neil) VanWechel; many nieces and nephews and lifelong friends.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Alphonse and Mary Beyer; husband of 58 years, Anthony Stangler; sisters Joan Beyer and Sister Loretta, OSF; brothers-in-law Gerald Watkins and Gary Mittendorf; and grandson, Trenton Stangler.
